Come along to Hills Circle of Friends’ final film fundraiser for 2016!

Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them

The year is 1926, and Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures. Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident, were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt’s fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.

Purchase your tickets on the night from the Hills Circle of Friends volunteer table. Arrive a little early and collect some snacks from The Capri’s well stocked candy bar. Then settle back for “the adventures of writer Newt Scamander in New York’s secret community of witches and wizards seventy years before Harry Potter reads his book in school…”

All are Welcome to attend our Annual General Meeting:

GUEST SPEAKER: Peter Drew.

Peter visited families in the (now closed) Inverbrackie Detention Centre near Woodside SA, and encouraged them to draw their feelings and journeys from their homelands to Adelaide.

Peter is a poster-maker extraordinaire, and will tell us about his adventures putting up his large Afghan-themed posters in each State capital CBD, around towns and public areas all over Australia, as well a meeting with politicians and activists during his journeys.

Many of his posters can be found throughout Adelaide’s CBD and suburbs.

We held a Sausage Sizzle at Bunnings Mt Barker on 14/10/2016 and it was was great fun! Mega-thanks to Barry & Christine Long for organising this great event!
Thanks to Hills Circle crew for cooking & serving – Jill, Roddy, Dirk, Lesley & Neil.

Bottle of award-winning shiraz (donated) was won by D. Turner of Nairne.

Behind The News: Introducing kids to the world of News.

Thousands of refugees have fled Syria over the past year. Some of them have come to Australia. So next we’re going to take a look at what a refugee actually is and how they’re different to the thousands of migrants that come here to live too.

REPORTER: Mahya, what was the hardest part do you think about coming from Iran to Australia?
MAHYA: The language has been the hardest part, like because I haven’t been understanding what they said.
Writing English was another challenge.
MAHYA: I used to get confused because in Australia, you write from the left side, right? But in Iran we right from the right side, so it was kind of confusing!
